Grade 2 Unit 2 My Weekly Schedule

In this unit Emi goes overseas, but before she does she tells us about her trip and where she is going to go. So that gives us the going to + verb construction to play with. Here are two weekly schedules that can be used to get the kids to start using this grammar. Example questions and answers are given on the sheet. It's a matching game so the kids have to find other students who are doing the same things that they are on the same days. Here's one way to use the worksheet:

• Have the kids talk about the pictures that accompany the schedules. Get them to say what the various images are intended to indicate.

I'm going to play table tennis.

I'm going to play basketball.

I'm going to study/do homework.

I'm going to play baseball.

I'm going to play a video game./ with my friends.

I'm going to sleep.

I'm going to watch TV.

I'm going to cook.

I'm going to go to Jusco.

I'm going to play kendo.

• Next, they choose three from the lists and write them into the squares of the days they want to do them.
• Then, by using the example q/a at the top of the page they find someone or someones who are doing the same things on the same days.

I haven't made it so the kids are required to find a given number of people doing the same things since it's not so much a game as it is an activity. Also I haven't done it yet so I'm not sure how many people will be doing the same things on the same days when a group of forty children select three items from a five item list.

Anyway, the whole point is to get them to talk.
